I used/use it a lot, became the standard when I was on AIM.
Mostly I feel people use it for tone and switch between the two. Then again I also respond with k too often apparently and have had spouses bring it up to me. “I’m going to pick up hot dog buns on the way home” k is apparently not always the proper response to such things apparently.
K, lol, cool/kool, alright, nice, oh… Apparently make up a lot of what she calls my NPC responses.
It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that there really isn’t a reason for me to send a flushed out response while I’m in a rush and or trying to respond at a red light. I’ll see them soon, if i thought something else should be picked up at the store when they were there id either say so or call if I thought it warranted a quick discussion.
If I ask do you want tacos, sure is a perfectly valid response, we’ve shared a bed for 5 years… if I don’t know what you do and don’t like on a taco I wasn’t paying attention, if you want something you usually wouldn’t, then it makes sense to say more
I did “haha” up until somewhat recently. I started using lol sarcastically, and it quickly bled over into the haha usage. I can’t break the habit either…
Am millennial and have never once used that acronym. I always just type “haha” instead… haha
Right haha, think the “lol” was gen x.
Millennials were ABSOLUTELY all about the lols, I can assure you. It was the most widely used acronym everywhere (second being brb, I would wager).
We roflcopter’d and roflmao’d with the best of em! lol
It’s pretty common with millenials at least

I felt my knees crack when you said AIM lol
I’m a millennial and I use lol way too often to start or end messages
Am millenial, I’ve used both lol and haha, since… I dunno, 1996?
I distinctly remember the first time I accidentally said ‘lol’ outloud, as a single syllable, at the end of a sentence.
I tend to reserve haha for conveying mildly interesting observations in a nonthreatening manner
“You must be their best customer to know that, haha”
Same.
‘haha’ is more polite/cordial, more passive and may indicate essentially nervous laughter
‘lol’ is more blunt/informal, more aggressive and may potentially indicate mockery
Really? Damn. Haha just makes me think of that kid from the Simpsons
